Should child benefits be extended or scrapped? Feat. Wilfred & Nelufar | Storm Huntley

[@user-Tortured-soul]

Parents are punished mothers are not allowed to bring up their own children, they are forced to go out to work to hand their children to a childminder and end up with no financial benefit because they have to pay most of their wages to the child minders. Then our children grow up disconnected from their parents and then we wonder why families are falling apart. It’s crazy!

[@Jonnyicey]

@@OutoftheEchoChamber penalise them all for the 9% of workless families? And out of that 9% how many actually go into work.. probably a lot of them.

@@OutoftheEchoChamber typical social worker ' full of 💩💩💩 they dont help anyone ' they just try & force parents into doing things only they want ' the poor & social workers are from 2 completly diffrent worlds ' social workers just asume that they know & understand ' when they dont ' social workers do not exactly have a good record ' have a dark past' this is why they are not trusted ' & they only pick on poor families ' thats discrimination ' but so called social workers cant see this ' because they are to busy hiding things under the rug 🤔

[@jujutrini8412]

The less time mothers/parents spend with their children the worse the crime and anti social behaviour appears to be in society. Wilfred seems to think that there is no benefit to society in helping parents to be able to afford to have kids. Doing away with any help for parents will further reduce the birth rate which is already a problematic issue going forward. We need children for our society to thrive.

Child povety in the uk is at a record high ' its strang how this only seems to happen when the tories are in town ' most couples get into povety because the tories only pick on the poor ' so they csn stigmatize the poor ie blame the poor ' there are to many arrogant people around that are single or havn't lost their jobs ' or have very good jobs ' so this makes it easy to critise the poorest ' its no diffrent than ' well i call it deliberate discrimination 🤔

[@teem5642]

My thing is, when are parents ever ever going to be held accountable for their very poor family planning skills? Child benefit isn't a right you know. You blame the gvt instead of the parents for bringing kids into the world when they can't afford . That's the problem . I assess a lot of generational benefits users who prefer to stay on benefits than to work, and as much as people hate it and don't want to acknowledge it, 72% of users iv assessed ,it has been a lifestyle choice. Hate it or love it and none of that political correctness bs, it's fact

All our industries have been sold off therefore we don’t have enough well paid jobs for the majority to survive on. We paid our State Pension via National Insurance and taxes. I believe we need a new system where we pay money to the Government over our working life to get a pension that we can pay extra into this will also allow us to be free from the benefit system and then we could decide when we wanted to retire and not have our retirement date determined by the government.

[@Jonnyicey]

You can pay into a self invested pension plan that you can access 10 years before state retirement age

In most situations people have kids by choice. I have 2 kids and in no way can I afford anymore and people need to except that if you have more than two then what you get is what you get point blank.

[@user-sh2rc5kc7x]

Wilfred has a screw lose. Without children you don’t have a society. These children grow up to support the very structure that we're all reliant on to exist.

[@teem5642]

So bring more children on benefits?😂 People need to learn to make adult decisions when bringing a child into the system , not use us to help fund their poor thought out decisions to have kids when broke

[@Leon-lt5gv]

Sadly Britain is broke caused mainly by unrestricted migration and the absurd rule that migrants are entitled to benefits healthcare and a home as soon as they set foot in the UK. I am not against giving help, as long as it’s balanced and does not as it has adversely affect our economy and the lives of citizens domicile in the UK. Unfortunately the citizens of the UK are being forced to pay the price of this unrestrained Migration. Through cuts to welfare, benefits for the sick and disabled, Senior citizens State Pensions and now child benefits? It feels like those at the bottom and in most need of help are having to pay the price of Government failures. Slowly but surely this country is becoming more like a third world country. We are becoming a dictatorship. That’s not a fair way to treat people, they didn’t vote this government in to destroy our democracy or our economy. We desperately need a change of government and policies to get this country back on track. There are so many things that have gone wrong ,and that needs to be prioritised. If we don’t get organised as a country and start working together for the benefit of all then we are all doomed. You can’t get blood out of a stone, and we can’t fix the economy by printing anymore money. We all need to wake up to the reality that we are a broken society.

[@madhattercullen26]

I don't think they should scrap the 2 children rule, but they should up the current amount. Parents are having to covering the shortfall on what schools can't afford due to budget cuts, and the rise in cost to food etc. Common sense stills says you help those who generally can't and you make going to work attractive

[@KayKLoveHeart]

[@PeterFailey-Smith]

[@lewishowell307]

Whether you can say "parents shouldn't have kids they can't afford" is irrelevant. Yes that may be true but at the end of all this are kids who go hungry and live in poverty! Why are we punishing kids for what some deem is the "irresponsibility" of the parents?

[@bereal6590]

Exactly also why aren't we working with those families.

[@yorewhyworry7217]

Errrmm there is a conclusion storm....FEED THE CHILDREN!

[@Vicks234]

People who come to this country they themselves might not be entitled but when they have children in the U.K. the child who is born here will get child benefit. The child born or not in this country should only be entitled if their parents are legally entitled to life in the U.K. not just to come and breed. Also if you are having children then you should only have them if you can afford them, I personally believe if it’s capped after 2 children then people who sit and breed just to rely on benefits will stop!

[@JackieSmith-su3py]

It should be for the first 2 children

[@Jonnyicey]

Why only 2? We allow hundreds of thousands of immigrants to come here each year... We need people so why not support families?
